Geoff Endacott Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I have got it into my head that the Class 800s ought to be called the Brian Class (after D800 Sir Brian Robertson.) Of course, this would mean that a list of suitable Brians would be needed. So far I have got... Sir Brian Robertson (of course) Brian Clough Brian Cant Brian the Snail Life of Brian Any more?

RMweb Gold russ p Posted February 22, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2017 To be honest I think the more trains become 'appliances' I think naming them is a thing of the past. Whilst the traditional nameplates on a pendolino are a nice touch on something that is absolutely awful in all respects no one at all refers to them by their names. Naming a unit is the same as naming the fridge and dishwasher in your kitchen! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the traditional nameplates on a pendolino are a nice touch on something that is absolutely awful in all respects no one at all refers to them by their names. Naming a unit is the same as naming the fridge and dishwasher in your kitchen! Perhaps we should forget the names, then, and just adorn the trains with a selection of fridge magnets. I would suggest including a different set of poetry magnets on each unit, to give a unique flavour to the comments left by the travelling public.
